Bioactive Phytochemical Compounds in Medicago sativa L. (Alfalfa): A Systematic Review of Biological Properties and Therapeutic Relevance in Nutraceutical and Functional Food Implications

Food Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Medicago sativa L. (alfalfa) harbors a remarkably diverse reservoir of bioactive secondary metabolites. Flavonoids, isoflavones, and triterpenoid saponins dominate its bioactivity landscape, driving potent antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, antimicrobial, estrogenic, hypolipidemic, and cytotoxic actions through redox modulation, membrane ...

Ensiling of Willow and Poplar Biomass Is Improved by Ensiling Additives

Agriculture
Biomass from willow and poplar harvested for feed during the growing season may be preserved by ensiling; however, little research has focused on ensiling of these biomasses. This study focuses on the use of ensiling additives to reduce the pH to around 4.0 to secure stable storage.

Ligninolytic Enzyme Content of Mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus Extracts and In Vitro Rumen Fermentation of Fungal Extract‐Treated Wheat Straw

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2026.
Mushrooms produce enzymes via the radical apparatus to attack lignin and cellulose and we evaluated extracts from byproducts of Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus bisporus in terms of content of ligninolytic enzymes and as sustainable means of enhancing the degradability of forages. The extracts contained ligninolytic enzymes and were used to treat wheat
